Example Chart
The Notis MT5 indicator can function in dual modes of calculating and data providing:
Cumulative mode – This mode allows the indicator to function like a normal oscillator with a single line. The indicator chart appears inverted in this mode
Inverse in cumulative mode (by default) – This mode is the default mode, as the indicator displays two lines: Plus and Minus. The difference between the Plus and Minus lines points to the market volatility level.
When the Plus and Minus lines cross, it points to market direction:
If the green line (Plus line) crosses the red line (Minus line) to stay below it, the market direction is said to be bullish, while if the green line (Plus line) crosses the red line (Minus line) to hover above it, the market direction is said to be bearish.
